The view from the restaurant is absolutely stunning, from the butterfly's to the ducks and everything in between! Now after about 20 minutes the food arrives! We had delicious lobster rolls, a lobster grilled cheese, and their crab pot! Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful. And just when you thought you were done we had a big slice of blueberry pie that was the best i've ever had! Overall this place was incredible and I would recommend to anyone in the area!

Apparently we got lucky and were seated right away though food took a long time to arrive anyway…read more Everyone at the table enjoyed their food whether it was lobster rolls, the lazy lobster dish or the steak tips with large chunks of meat. The baked stuffed haddock dish I got was okay. I didn't get much flavor from it. The garlicky mashed potatoes side was doing the heavier lifting on that front. It seems likely that I ordered the wrong thing. Service was just okay, with no apologies or acknowledgement for the long wait and a bit of time passed with empty cups before they offered drink refills as well. Ambiance is loud open restaurant style with live music in the patio and some lobster fishing related decor. Because the table enjoyed their food much more than I did, I would be disingenuous to rate it less than four but I was not impressed. One of our family members considers this place as their favorite lobster roll place so there's that.

We stumbled on Archie's hunting for an early dinner on the Quietside, about five minutes from the…read moreWonderland trail, and it turned out to be a great find. It's a fisherman-owned shack right on the bay -- informal, friendly, and exactly the kind of unpretentious Maine spot you hope to run into. Honestly, everything we ordered was excellent, so it's hard to single out just one thing. The hot-butter lobster roll was soft, fresh, and generous -- better than the other lobster rolls we'd had on the trip (I paid a little extra for hot butter over the cold/mayo version and would do it again). The lobster empanadas were a nice surprise: crispy from being fried, and while there's some filler beyond the lobster, the meat-to-filling ratio is good and the added flavor works -- I'd order those again. The clam chowder was rich and creamy without being gluey. Bonus points for the kids: a Lego play table kept ours happily occupied, and they did simple cheese quesadillas the kids actually ate. I also had a Pulp Truck IPA from Marsh Island Brewing -- which is what we would call a "Hazy IPA" or "New England IPA" on the West Coast, but here is simply an IPA. Regardless, it was quite good. We'd would definitely eat here again.

He was very enthusiastic about his job and he was wearing a lobster hat. They are only opened from 11am-3pm. You are handed a slip to fill out to order, so we checked off the Fresh Lobster Roll with Lemon Mayo; 2 Quarter Pound All Beef Hotdogs, one with Hawaiian relish and sauerkraut, and the other with chili and cheddar cheese; and a Fried Haddock Sandwich. All the lobster rolls contain quarter pound lobster for $21.99. The lobster I've tried in Acadia have all been good. I preferred the beef hotdog with Hawaiian relish and sauerkraut, over the chilli with cheese. The cheese was not melted over the chili. Fried haddock was okay.

What a great little place to get a fresh lobster roll in the town of Winter Harbor. On Google it…read moreshows that the location is closed, but they are not. The same man Don, who is mentioned in reviews from two years ago is still there taking your order and wearing his lobster hat. You order at a walk up counter outside and take a seat also outside until they call your name. They are set up on the corner in front of what used to be another restaurant that is actually closed. I went inside to use the restroom and wash my hands, but the inside is all shut down and pretty smelly. There are a lot of tables undercover and also in the sun where you can sit and enjoy your lobster roll or hotdog. They also have blueberry pie and blueberry bread pudding, which I did not try but looked delicious. My friend got a fresh squeeze lemonade that she enjoyed, I had the fresh brew iced tea, which probably needed a Splenda, but I don't think they had any. If you like unsweetened tea, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Overall everyone who worked there was very friendly, especially Don who takes your orders.

1¼ lb Twin Lobsters: This was everything I was hoping for in a classic Maine lobster meal. The…read morelobsters were incredibly fresh, with soft, buttery meat that practically melted in every bite. Paired with sweet corn on the cob, it was the perfect combination. Sitting outside overlooking the ocean beside the Harborside Marina made the experience even better--the coastal views, salty breeze, and fresh seafood created the quintessential Bar Harbor dining experience. Coastal Dip (not pictured): A warm, creamy seafood dip loaded with lobster, shrimp, and other seafood, served with crispy tortilla chips. It's rich, flavorful, and perfect for sharing before your main course. Oysters: These were a bit disappointing. About half tasted fresh and briny, while the others didn't seem as fresh, making for a mixed experience overall. Looking back, I probably would've skipped the oysters and ordered another lobster dish or their famous lobster roll instead. Blueberry Pie: For $14, this wasn't my favorite. The blueberry filling was a little too sweet for my taste. The buttery crust paired nicely with the scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I don't think it justified the price. I'd save room for something else next time. Cocktails: They have several refreshing cocktail options, but my favorite was definitely the Country Thyme Lemonade. It had a sweet, refreshing lemonade flavor with tequila and other ingredients blended together, and it was served in a beautiful glass that made it feel extra special. The Blueberry Smash wasn't for me--it had an herbal flavor that reminded me a bit of a cleaning product, so I preferred the lemonade by far. Overall, if you're looking for fresh Maine lobster with beautiful waterfront views in Bar Harbor, this is a great place to stop. The lobster is the star of the meal, so I'd stick with the classics and enjoy the scenery. In terms of service, our server was very nice and helpful. I'd be careful though because they aren't organized about their servers - they have one named Mario who came up to our table and started flirting w the girl and it was unacceptable while the family was in the bathroom so I'd say watch out for that.
